Ik ?Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, Sept. 16, 1885. l>oe? Law hii<1 Order Previsil In **alrilohl? Tho town and vicinity of Itldgeway, like Mtntiy other townH and communities In evV>0*tnto III the Union, Ims members of the body politic whodonot conic up to tlio orthodox nml accepted standards ol decency iimt nionillty. For the alleged purpose of jiuriryliiK tlio moral* of the community and ridding Ihe town of persons whose social or moral relations might he otfenslve, unknown men masked themselves and rule about the V*M?Uy in their disguise, going to tlio homes or those people at midnight, calling them out of their beds and thelrjliouses, flogging them unmercifully. Quoting from the report of a reporter for the Ihtilj/ Ilccord, who Went to KalrtleUl for t lie purpose of ascertaining the facts, wo reduce n long story of Indeceit living and Improper minuteness In recital to the following: 1. "At midnight a cavalcade ot disguised horsemen surrounded the hut in" which sev< 11 persons lived. Three escaped, but four ot the Inmates Tell Into the hands of the 'horsemen" who administered to caeli of the four an unmerciful flogging. 2. Soon After this "a similar body of masfjueradcrs" went to tho house of a white man, who received "a warm flogging" for resisting the proposition to put his "head Into i? sack." His companion In shame has since died, though It Is conteuded, by whom we do not know, that she "was not whipped," but tho )<artner of her esenpade claims "that she received wme six or seven stripes." :S. The next episode was tho whipping ot Yho negro who escaped from the "regulators" on the night of their first work. He subsequently fell Into their hands and received "probably a round hundred lashes." 4. The next act was the notifying of a cltlr.en that he must leave within thirty days. 5. The fifth act of the disguised horsemen who work at midnight and who, it is alleged, style themselves "regulators," was the ordorinc of a merchant to leave the town of Itldgcv.ay, as will appear from the following noto: "Mr. : Y?'U are, no doubt, aware of the ttegn bit ore' in"wm-n(. The reason you have not been visited before now is partly on account of your aso Kml Infirmity lint yon know it movement of this kind cinnot re?|>ect either of these. How |on<r you cm enjoy this immunity wo cinnot say, or do not state, but would advise you to leave on first train ily doing this von tiny save yourself unknown trouble 'turn ill,* I run liflrnl itf v?ii!p Itl/'fids in lliis movement. Money Is :i great lever, liut will not accomplish everyShlng. Tills you c in do by getting some one to wind tij. your business after y?u leave. yocu unknown risiknns." The above Is one sido of tho story. The livgUler In refutation, says lu Its local column: "A communication from ?n Intelligent nnd rcsponaiblecorrespondent at Itidgcwiw, In our columns this morning, disposes of much of the sensation attending lh? ratn-tni which have been set nfl.iat about the lawlessness In the Immediate neighborhood of Rldgewny. From other trustworthy sources, also the infurmnlion *hlcb ha? come to us for some time past justlflestheclitim made by our correspondent, that the Movement of certain citizens of KuirflWd County has confined strictly to dealing with a class of offenders agiinst all the pure and conservative influences of good society, and in no case has any one been interfered with who did not nuturi msly belong to this cla?s. "There has been no terr >rism. and no alarm to derent people, however humble, and notrndv who i^j not living in o|?en di-Hance of the laws of Hod and man in this respect need feel any concern for their safety." j Tlio following, except so much as was slander of n citizen whom, it is alh>ged reported tlio doings of tho "Regulators," Is the communication to tho Rcgislemwd In defense of tlio good name of the people of FairHeld : ' Tlio statement concerning ootraee* alleged to have 1> -on committed in th<s community by so-called regulators ami outlaws. Is b-lleved by all good citijt-ris to be wholly untrue. We know of no ciitrh or^nnizitioii, nor does such organiiatlou exist in this Community. "As for the outlaws nndertaklnztn tn.inaee and control things in tliia.? ctlon, this Is. indeed, n very grave charge against the law-abldlne people ef thiscommnn11r, and any sane mm should know that no law-abiding people would tolerate any such lawlessness. "The statement that tbe people in the neighborhood are very much alarmed iu consequence of the lawlessness existing Is utterly false. There is no alarm, no f-ar, nothing to be alarmed about, ami jioacc and order were never nsoro supreme." Theabovo, wo believe, in a fair statement of the condition of affairs at Itldgeway, Fair- J field county, as published In the papers. We leave overy man to draw tits own conclusions n? to the facts. We believe tlie Register spoke the truth wbon It wild "th it tho movement "of certain citizens of Fairfield county has "been confined strictly to dealing with a class "of offenders against all tliepnro and conserv-j "atlve Influences of good society." Hut as two wrongs do not make a right, we ] do not see how any law-abiding citizen can | endorse tho acta as charged to theso "Kcgula-I tors." Persons who oflend against pure and I conservative influences should be prosecuted I In the Courts, as also should all persons who] ^disguise themselves and go at midnight to! (Kelpie's houses, drag them out of bed, and' maltreat them. Even If these people who of- j Tend against tho purity of morals, had coin-! ml tted a capital offence?one for which they should bo hangeil-thelr neighbors hud noj right to treat them as these people In Fairfield were treated. The question now Is: Does South Carolina afford equal protection to Its cllizcns! Will the Governor of the Stato mako any effort to briug the Fairfield "Regulators" to tho bar of Justice? If their acts hud been perpctraIcd on tho "unco guld" folk of Fairfield does anybody doubt that a proclamation would Jiavo been published beforo now, offering a big roward for the oQeuders? Don't Mortgage the HomeHtentl. We have on former occasions warned cur people against mortgaging their homes, u-id we now repeat that warning. If the ?: vner of a large tract of land should be compel led to raise money it would be far better to sell a part or the whole place than to give n mortgage on the whole. Hccent decisions of the Supreme Court would enforce this injunction for the roasou that now when a mortgage is given the debtor Is deprived of the right to homestead exemption as against Judgment creditors. Tne homestead which Is mortgaged must ,go to satisfy the debt which the mortgage Is Intended to secure, while the remainder must go to the! Judgment creditors. This difficulty will apply not only to tho borrowing of money from one's neighbors, but also to those who borrow from foreign companies wtin whom an tncse dmicnities are met,?but also other difficulties which iiro Incorporated In the writing Itself. For lnhtance, the borrower hns to pay expeuse of attorney's fees, papers, Ac., In addition to Interest. The Interest Is to be paid at stipulated times, and In case of failure to pay, then the whole debt shall become due. The cost of receiving the loan of a thousand dollars Is us. unity about $65 In addition to the Interest? making a total cost of $163 for the use of a 31,000 for the first year. No man doing a legitimate business can atrord to pay even ten ]>er cent, for much money, and he who Inftinil)f*rR hl.H f'irm hv n flv?? vnnr'w lrv?n r?f money nt that rate may inakc his arrangements to seek a new home, as soon as his creditor shall demand his money. Don't mortgage your home. Tho records bIiow that very few mortgages are ever paid, except by the salo of the property. A young man may possibly buy a homo on a credit, and afterwards earn the money to pay for It, but a middle aged man in the possession of a farm, who, on a dead level, gives a mortgage on It, will seldom bo rid of the nightmare. lx>n't mortgage your home under any consideration whatever. No matter how much debts you may owe or how anxious you may be to get money, don't endanger your homo. Ulve lien priccs fur goods, if necessary,go to the trouble of 6owlng turnips and barley; raise a mule cilt; fence a good pasture, and get plenty of milk cows to run on It; sell but ifi iu uiij wuuicvcr i;acuu juu uutru. i^vfu go so fur us to remain away from lowu a whole month ut. a limn In the busy seu>on, but don't mortgage your home. Hotter eat corn bread and milk, and dresH in a collar and u pair of spurs, than to mortgage your home. Let creditors go where overcoats are not needed and where ice water would beat a premium before giving them the death-grip on your farm. The word mortgage means dead pledge. Then the very word itself Is a terror and Its meaning should forewarn the head of every family against making a tlead plt'ilyc, which Is about dead sure to rob him of a home for his wife uud children. Don't give a mortKHge. j The Trial Jiiillcct. Much has been said ol late by various newspapers of the State In reference to our Trial Justices, and their hielllcleney. We think one rudlcul and vital error lies in the fact that u Trial Justice's fees may be allected bv his decisions. Wo believe that it takes a high order of man to hold the scales In exact ecjulI'Ols when his own Interests are affected. No one would think ot making aClicult or Supreme Judge's foes contingent upon the decisions he might render. A trial Justice Is a Judicial officer, and should be governed by I the same intelligent.sense of Justice that controls the higher officer, and the temptation to . do u doubtful act should bo removed. He L should be a Salaried officer, and thus placed 1 in ii position where he would have no luter est In using his office ns an engine of opprcs| ( Ion In sending trivial cases up to the higher I Court, and binding over an army of witnesses I who may fail to nuike out a case even before I the grand Jury. | A small salary to the trial Justice would In | I ?.nr opinion, save the coumy thousands of I dollars in the way of Court expenses. Many Hiding cases niijtht never getinto Court if tlie Mork of issuing writs and the binding over of witnesses to Court was not a source of prolit to somebody. Pay the trial Justice a small salary. The present system of offiring a premium for the number of casts sent up Is all wrong, and detracts from the dignity of theolfice. With the advent of a ne w teacher, the people stand in fear and trembling lest the of? repeated order f >r new books" be given. Abbevillc Ins bought enough new book; to enrich til oHliuary publish', r. Al>t>cvlllc*? Outlook. Nearly nil of our merchants have returned j from the Northern markets, where they have bought large stocks of goods, ami are now tilling their More rooius with every needed article. They are preparing themselves for il large trade, and our IVieiids from the country ?? bo come for good goods at low prices will not Ik- disappointed. The new gins that have been put up in town will be found a great convenience to farmers Ki)d a great benefit to the town. The farmer who has cotton in the seed can now bring It on 11Is w:L-;on with n certainty of getting It glutted .and packed at once, with the least cost, mid there need bei'o trouble about bagging ami th-s. They arc always on hand, and the market for the sale of cotton seed Is always opr-n, with plenty or buyers. We arc Inclined to the opinion that an oil mill in town would bo a profitable Investment to the stockholders, and we are quite sure that it would he of great advantage to the farmers. If they could have their cotton seed converted Into oil and fertilizers, the advantages accruing would add to the prosperity of the county. We are not Informed as to how the oil mills work in lireenvllle and An- j derson, but we are under the impression that i they are of great value. Such a factory, we j presume, could be put up at Abbeville with j least amount of capital. We have already! two steam gins and mills in town, with am-' pie powcrand storage capacity, the owners of which would no doubt subscribe most liberally to such an enterprise. If shareholders' would take sufficient cash stock to buy the oil machinery, the object could bo effected. We have the power, and the houses. Now let "" *><--?< ?"< Another profitable Investment might be made In u Clement attachment?ginning and spinning. The Trade of Abbeville. Owing to ottr superior facilities for doing business, and owing to tlie large amount of capital which is employed In the mercantile business, the trade of the town need not be: seriously olleded by tlie building of tlie Savannah Valley Railroad. Abbeville now re-1 reives trade from near the line of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad for the reason (hat the desired goods may always be found in Abbeville, while It Is true that the stocks of goods along the line of the Augusta and Knoxville road are not nearly so full or complete as they arc lu the larger towns. The same will 110 doubt be true of the towns along I the Savannah Ynlley Itailroad. Good towns will no doubt spring up at Lowndesvllle and Mt. Carmel, where good slocks of goods may be had, bill for all this Abbeville will In the future, receive much trade from these sections. Our freights will certainly be as low as at any of the new towns, and this taken with our largo stocks of goods, and prospective convenience and benefit of the bank will cause Abbeville to hold her own, and wo hope that our business n>on will exert every energy to keep the place ut least up to its present standard. In one thing especially we have the advantage of our sister towns, and that is, in the manufacture of wagons, buggies, and other vehicles, and in the preparation of lumber j for the erection of buildings. All the necessary machinery for these kinds of work are I now in operation. ISesides these we have the most ample arrangements lor ginning ami [packing cotton. Another year we hope to j have an oil mill, which wouhl open up a bct| ter market for our cotton seed. The Xnochtj Tlormons. Thfi Morm?n? uro preparing to emigrate from Utnli to Mexico, and have bought u million acres of Inml in tbe Stntw of Clillmahuii torn new settlvinent. tjo we hear. Their con?vleii<tt may rei|aire them to e?; our# will not allc?v them tu ttmj?Southern Christian Atlvocatc. The difference betweeu the Xcw England saint and the Salt Ijike saint Is simply this: The Xcw England saint may marry Just as many wives as hcchoo'ses, provided he turns the preceding wife into the street beforo marrying cgaln, while Iho Salt Lako saint marries as many wives as he can support. The Mormon who hikes care of all his wives is ten thousand times more honorablo than the Gentile who turns all his wives out iu the street? except his lust conquest. Why Is it that our good brother docs not flglit tho evil I resulting from easy divorco, which Is more j widespread and more deadly In lis influence thuu Moruionlsm with all Us poligamy ? Furniture nn<l Stoves. Without entrenching on the duties of any ! officer wo would oiler n suggestion for the | consideration of County Commissioners. Tho pettit Juries attending the Courts are often locked up in tho Jury rooms for hours at n time. In co.d weather the Jurors In a room without tire place or stove must sutler from cold. A fc>v dollars in stoves and pipes would make the Jurors comfortable, so far as warmth Is concerned. Another matter is tho poor Insufficient furniture which is to be found in the different offices. The Master's office espc dally is sadly 111 need of an iron safe and additional furniture. All the other offices need furniture, and we believe tho people of Abbeville county are able to buy good furniture and would endorse the purchase of it. The matter is worthy of consideration, even if a small tax be necessary to raise the funds to furnish th? public offices. The Bank. The bank may bo considered an assured success. The necessary amount of stock has been subscribed, though a few shares may yet be had. Major A. It. Wurdlaw will probably be President. 'Mr. B. !S. Burnwel! will likely be Cashier. Of course tho location or office for the bank has not been chosen, as tho organization has not been effected. It Is presumed a meeting of the subscribers to tho capital stock will soon he called, to muKO tne preliminary arrangements for going lnt j business. The Savannah Railroad. Mrs. Alston, wo loam, lias brought suit through her attorneys, Messrs. J'arker A- McGowan,against the Savannah Valley Hallroad Company, In the sum of fJ.OOO as coinj pensation lor right of way through her lands | In lladwell neighborhood, and it is reported that the work of laying Iron has been slopped. though we have no definite information on this point. Clerk Zeiglcr will, in a few days, draw the Jury, whose duty it w 111 bo to j assess the damages against the railroad in fai vor of Mrs. Alston. I - - -- Advertising Lotteries. The Charlenton Sunday Dinpatch violates the laws of tlie State by publishing the advertisements of the Louisiana Lottery. Let that paper set up no special claims to morality as Ions as It openly violates the letter and spirit I of the law to aid a most notorious evil, mere; ly to gain a few dollars. Happy KUitor. Mr. James 1*. Carey, editor of tho Ea?!y Messenger, was recently married to Miss I.ynj da Lovett, of (.ieoigia. We extend congratuI lations to our fortunate neighbor. : Tlie Danger anil tl??> Safety of lightning KoiIN. The following article by Mr. C. W. Welch In the yewberry Herald and Wcivs contains Invaluable suirnestions to those of our citizens | who may he tempted by an Ignorant light| nlng rod iment to attach to their houses a dci vise which may be destructive to their homes I and the lives of their families.

Front this we quotes psge6 470-7: "Wld.iwinds urc sometimes felt here; a most violent one of that kind commonly known under the title of Tyi'hones, pa?sd down Ashley-river on the 4lh of Muv.,1701, !ii.d fill upon the shipping In liebellloii Uoad with such fury as to threaten the destruction of a large licet, lyhis.' there ready to s.ill fur Kurope. This terrible phenomenon whs seen hy in-iny of the Inhabitants uf Chtrb s-town, coining down Wuppoucreek, resembling n large column of smoke and viipor, i whose motion whs very Irregular and tumultuous, as i well as tlmt of the neighboring clouds, which appenrto he driving down new v in the some direction (from the S. \V.) ami with great swiftness.

How to Improve the Common Schools. [ Xcu bcrry Herald onil A'cU'S.J School Commissi oner Mclllchatnp, of Orangeburg, iis we mentioned lust week, makes some good suggestions in regard to the common school system. Ills suggestions are oneny as loiiows ; 1. .Make the school districts smaller, so that each board of trustees slmll have only one white and one colored .school to look alter. 'J. Kncouiage each community to supplement the public fund, and to keep the schools open us long as nine or ten months of the year. 3. Where the people are unable to supplement the public fund, let a system of rotation be adopted, that is, let one tenchcr be employed to teach several schools, taking up another so as he closes one, so that he will find employment for the whole year, insfad, of l>eint; forced, as is now the ease for more than half his tune, to devolo himself to some oilier work. These are all valuable suggestions, and worth the serious consideration of school authorities every where. We believe, however, that, the only plan which will be tound to insure teachers of high order of merit is that contained in the second suggestion. The plan of making the school districts smaller will do much to increase the etliclency of the supervision which bourds of trustees aie requited to give tlie schools, but only salaries sufficient to make teaching a paying profession will induce young men and women of ability to devote their lives to the work. A Clever Invention. The Augusta Chronicle of the 4th Instant says: "Mr. N. 0. Pyles, of Greenwood, W. C'., exhibited a patent blotter In tlio Chronicle office yesterday, of his invention, which combines blotter, ruler nnd Inch measure. It is on the fashion of the usual counting house blotter, with a handle, but Is light und durable,anil the blotters are easily adjusted in the frame, which is of metal Instead of wood. It gives a much larger blotting suriace than the usual blotter, and is a clever contrivance which reflects credit upon the Ingenuity of tlie inventor. Mr. Pyles if going North to perfect arrangements tor its extensive manufacture." 1'iipll* in Demand. (Greenville News.)

Now let ua take uj> the prominent Slate officials, rake our Governor, Hugh Thompson. lie had a dialinguiehcd ancestry it la title, but what did it do for litm 5 If there was any reckoning of It left.it was right across the path uf Carolina's political (sentiments. It antagonized Calhoun and Ills political standards npiarely. The truth Is. tho "schoolmaster Governor'' made his own reputation In-fore the peoplo as completely us If ho lind no fninily reckonings whatever, lie was taken up at n venture "as the popular, diligent md successful Superintendent of Kducitlion. It tnay lie said, then, with perfect truth that Hugii Thompson espresonts to-day the brand-new public school Idea of the day in this old Commonwealth. Suiely there is no rap or the snull' box here.

He wus culm, ho was self-collected, he was courageous, he was patient, be was nlse, be was |ust. Take it altogether, It made him a most remarkiblc man before llieJwholo country. Take Senator Butler. He had a distinguished ancestor we be.levc on Ills mother's side In Coniinodoie IVrry, anil be has more or less distinguished alllnllUs. U is not lor lis to say bow much service tills has been to blin. We we confident, however, that whatever illstlnctlon the Senator has reached has been his own handiwork.

Now what is true ot this lenerstlon was strikingly true of former generations of jresit men > f the State. Calhoun him-ell was a scion of a plain Scotch-Irish >tock, that hud nothing to do with the gre?t names of ihe colonial period.

Now to show the nonsonso of {his talk about '-too much regard for names and birth In South Carolina," let any man at all familiar with the history ol llie State coll the names of the most distinguished men in South Carolina familiar to the popular ear for a generation or so before the war.

Nearly every one of Iho officers whom tlio licrtishr names was r.dvocnted by the Xcwv (mil Oluriir for the office he holds, nnd no one of them, we believe, was opposed by us. The Register Is simply puncturing a bladder of its own inflating. All the same, we lepeft', there is in South Carolina, "we believe, loo much regard fur name and birth." and 1 his excessive retard can express itself mischievously and injuriously In other ways than In the .

Furntaii University. The Abbeville Union, whose constituency is the entire Association to which It belongs, had the pleasure of erecting, at its last session, Drs. Chas. Mnnly of Kurman University, L. M. Ayerof Anders?n Female College, and Kev. j. K. Mendenhall of Greenville. These brethren did some good preachine nnd each made a iMii.tul mhlroOi nn thfi atiliioft nf ftdllpjiflun Nnt. withstanding the forbidding aspect of the weather on Saturday twelve churches wero represented. And CTi-ry one voted n favor of the proposition to endorse the movement to endow the University. This action, so far as relates to tho twelve churches represented, Is about as authoritative ns would be tho action of tho Association; for neither have (tower to bind the churches. Tho chair was Instructed to appnnt a committee of ten, representing overy portion of the Union, whoso duty it shall be to canvass tho Union for the purpose of raising five hundred dollars of the endowment fund. It is earnestly hoped that this committee will so address themselves to this work that the money will be ready bv the meeting of tho Association. Whatever may lie tho advantages accruing to tho State in general from thlsinstitution. no section has been more specially blessed than Abbeville. Memory recalls but a lew years, when ])rs. Rroodus and Manly labored at Greenwood, Sllonm, Damascus and Fellowship, Dr. Williams at Mt Morlnh.and Dr. Toy at Abbeville and 1'iovldence. It Is triin that these men were connected with the Theological Seminary; but tlint was connected with the University. Besides thin, the pastors of the Association within the last ten years, (with but fine exception I believe,) have enjoyed tin* benefits of this Institution. Under the circumstance* may we not ask tlmt the churches avail themsoWes of tlie present opportunity to afford to the friends of the University a substantia! evidence of their appreciation of the benefits received. The names of the committee, with their respective fi> lds of labor, will lie published In your next Issue. IJWhlle It Is hoped that none of the causes heretofore fostered by this Association will suffer a loss of one cent, or abate one till? In popular interest, may we not confidently expect this matter to be crowned with success. II. O, Smart. This, Too, Shall I'iinh Away."* Art thou In misery, both?

Then the poor baby sidles along slowly nnd nnd reluctantly, nnd presents her cheek lor the caress she despises. Auntie Is shocked nnd disappointed.

Sometimes Insult Is added to Injury by a quick wiplng-otl'of the remains of the obnoxious kiss. Having a good opportunity for Interviewing an Intelligent child of four years a short time ago on this subject, the writer took advantage of It, and this was the conversation: "(irandpa felt very unhappy when you woman l kiss niui mis inuiuuiji, * ^....i.^ed tcntiitlvely.

Eleanor THE COMING METAL. - Facts About Aluminum-?It Threat* en* to Displace Iron and Steel. "The metal of the future," said a prominent mechanical cngii.eer to me, "is uluiulnum.

It i is very dtictilo and can bo drawn into wire more euslly than almost, any other metal, i Moreover, It is easily worked, either cold or hot. It Is suitable for anything that Iron or steel or copper or brass or bronze or gold or ' silver is used for, from the wheels of a watch ' to a monster steam engine." "How docs it compare In weight with other * metals?" 1 "It Is by far the lightest; lighter, indeed, than many hard woods. It is little more 1 than one-third the weight of cast Iron. To be ? exact, a cubic footol aluminum weighs only 16(1 pounds. The same sized block of cast < Iron weighs about 451 pounds; of wrought i Iron, 1>7 pounds; of copper pounds; of | lead,'Ml pounds; of drass, 5'JS und of gold, about 1,200 pounds. In brief, it Is the lightest. , easiest worked, strongest, most durable and generally most valuable of all metals, nnd the man who Invents and patents a method of making it chotiply will revolutionize Industry and become the richest man In the < world." _ I Distributing' Manure. W. &. I'., Minnftn, Ala.. gtves ins plan or nisiriti- i tiling compost economically" on (mm 209 of July I Cultivator. Ah 1i>k plan discrlbutca only 2,500 I pounds per hand, I will give you my plan, by which i I hud 4,1000 pounds pel' haul put from heap Into furrows In one ilny. Give 2 two-horso wagons find drivers, one hnnd ' to chop down heup and help hmd, one bund to help ' unloiul, using a grub-fork, and eight hands, with bss- | kets from half bushel to one bushel capacity, according to strength of hand, to distribute in furrows. It ' is bc?t to start wugona the evening before, so as to avoid delays. 1 have compost put In head rows, ten ( to thirteen rows armrt, (whatever will make it ensy 1 to get the required amount down will do) nnd four s teen or eighteen p.ices apart In row. This gives from j sixteen to twenty-five heaps per aero. If heap rows aro wide, place heap closer and vtcc verm. Arrange j M> tlmt olio wagon will leave compost heap just as other wagon leaves field; then there is no coiituaieii nor delays, and the unloader can help clean up compost at the piles and facilitate those who aro distributing. ( Twenty-two loads of 1.200 pounds each per day by 1 each wagon from ]/! to YtX of a utile Is ft very good ( day's work. If a shorter distance another baud will have to help load, and more distributers will be re- I quired. The loads may seem very light to some, but 1 I found thein largo enough to curry over n deeply broken field nil day. by a team that hauled one ton ( fertilizer at a load eleven miles, six days at a time. ] Baskets are tnoro convenient than aprons. \V. 9. T's sheets would havo too much on them, causing hands to lose time walking to and froin Ilium unless putting ( . It down very heavily, say 25,000 or 80,0(H) pounds per acre. I put 0,000 pounds per aero, and If I were to | put down more there would be u considerable Incrcusc in nmouDt per bund. . As to waste, there Is none; It nil goes on tlio land, ' and when oiie heap is for 10 or 12 rows at a dlstaneo of 14 or IS paces, all over the Held oxiictly In chucks, ( it Is easy to keep uniform. Of cotirso a lanter or smaller force, if properly reg- , ulated. will do as well, except tlmtoiiB wagun would glvo too much tlmo to chopper und unloader: while , two wagons work like a clock; and upon cluck work exactness depends, to a largo extent, success or fallure. E. W. D. : Landlord an<l Tenant. 1 When the owner of real estate grants to another , simply the right to posaass and enjoy tlio iiso of such i real estate, cither for a time ugioed upon, or nt the 1 will of the owner, nnd the tenant accepts tlio grants, < the relation of landlord and tenant exists between them. In anch a ease no estate pusses out of the bmlloril, nnd the tenant has only the right to use and en}oy the property, which right ho cannot convey ex- j cent by tho landlord's consent, I In Georgia tho lniidlord bus two liens for his ront, a general nnd special lien. The general lien shall be inferior to the liens for taxes, and the general and special lien of laborers, but shall rank with other , liens, and with each other, according to date, the date being from the time of levying a distress war- ? rant for tlie rent. The special lien relates to Hie crops raised on the land and shall be superior to all other liens except liens for taxes. The landlord shall havo tho right to distrain for his rent, as soon a? It becomes duo, or before due, if the tenant li seeking to removo his goods from the premises. If the tenant fulls to pay tho r<-nt due at any time, tho landlord may re-enter Immediately and dispossess the tenant. If the tenant holds over lifter his term expires, without the consent of the landlord, ho shall become liable tor double rent for such time. When the party having rent due Mm (lustres to enforce its collection by law, he or his agent must go before the .lustIce of the Peace, or other proper "Nicer in the county whvro the tenant lives, or where his property may be found, and inuko oath, in writing, to the amount of rent duo. This being done. u distress warrant la then Issued to be levied im the i |iro|ierty of the tenant. The tenant en&not stop the ( salo ol Lis property unless ho makes ul&luvit that the rent claiui is not due, and, tu addition, gives feci! rity for the eventual enmdemnation money. If tlio tenant Dies the counter-ntlidavit and bund, the ease Is then tried in the courts us other cases are disposed of. Where no time in ?pecifled for tho termination of the tenancy, the law construe* it to ho f?r the caien- , daryear?from January 1, to Decembers 1st?but If It is expressly agreed to be si in ply a tenucy, at tlio will of either party, then It can bo terminated on two month's notice from the landlord, and Mm month's notice from the tenant. The tenant cannot dispute his landlord's title.
